In Xi Yi's office, Zhao Mingli scrolled through his phone, checking the orders in the backend, and found that the number of orders had already doubled the current capacity they could handle.
In less than an hour, orders have already exploded.
"We were overwhelmed with orders half an hour ago. This is still the set-up time. Once the order limit is exceeded by more than double, we will stop accepting orders. If you want to place an order later, you can make a reservation first, and we will notify you by SMS when the order can be placed."
Li Pu gave a wry smile; he hadn't expected it to be so popular.
Of the nearly 1,500 people in the team, 1,300 were taking orders, while the remaining 200 were not online due to certain matters. As it turned out, Li Pu had underestimated his popularity.
"Ask the store manager you arranged to come again when they can arrive as soon as possible. We're willing to provide compensation if it's available."
The importance of opening a branch store has been raised to the highest level. The recruitment of new customer service staff and "warrior" also needs to be expedited. Li Pu and his team don't have that much time to keep up with everything, so they can only ask the store manager to take care of it for them.
"Okay, I'll contact him again later."
At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and a man wearing glasses and over 1.8 meters tall walked in.
"Mr. Li, this is a brief summary of the orders placed in the past hour. There were more than 2600 orders in total, including more than 1700 escort orders and 900 tool delivery orders, with a total value of about 30. There are also nearly 3000 people who have made external reservations. If we open up the ordering system, we may have nearly 6000 orders in this hour, with a total order value of more than 60."
"It's not the peak time yet, after all, it's the weekend and it's still morning, most people are still sleeping. Orders may reach a new high after noon, and peak after 8 pm."
The person who came was Wang Kangwei, the store manager that Zhao Mingli had found, who was in charge of the operation of this club on campus.
He handed Li Pu a list that roughly summarized the orders placed within the past hour.
Li Pu took a look at it and nodded slightly.
The number of orders is one thing, but completing an order takes time; it's not that a certain number of orders will be completed immediately.
Escort missions typically require two skilled players to cooperate, which can significantly increase the success rate. With good luck, you might complete the mission in one game, while with bad luck, you might not be able to complete it even after three to five games.
The "running order" is in units of ten million, so 900 orders means there are 900 orders of ten million each waiting to be completed.
Based on the fastest completion time of about 5 hours per order, it would take Li Pu's nearly 500 deliverymen about 10 hours to complete these orders.
"It's the weekend today, so let's loosen the order volume a bit and limit it to 1500 orders. That should be enough to handle it."
"it is good."
"Are all the top war gods in place?"
"Of the 54 top-tier warriors, 47 are in place, and the rest will be online in the afternoon."
"Make them be prepared to clean up the mess. If an A-level War God fails to complete more than three orders, they will be replaced and brought out for a challenge after 8 pm. The main focus these days is to ensure the order completion rate. If they can't handle it either, mark them in red. I will try calling the boss live when I go live tonight."
Li Pu handed the form to Zhao Mingli and let him take a look.
"Understood. Everything has been prepared in advance. The top warriors are all waiting. The 50 challenges are already booked, and it will start at 8 PM tonight."
Wang Kangwei nodded calmly. At this moment, the customer service offices next door were in complete chaos, but having been a store manager for several years, he was used to it.
"Based on the current popularity, we can expect to receive at least 10,000 orders. However, the club's daily processing limit is around 5000 orders, including over 3000 escort orders and 2000 runner orders. Escort orders, averaging at least 180 per order, can generate 540,000 in revenue, while runner orders, averaging 90 per order, can generate 180,000. If our estimates are correct, today's revenue could exceed 700,000."
This estimate is based on the lowest possible level; the actual revenue could be significantly higher. We'll have to wait until all the data is available tonight to know for sure.
Wang Kangwei adjusted his glasses and calmly announced a number that left Zhao Mingli speechless.
Li Pu was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.
With a turnover of 70, based on the 15% commission rate for the A-level War God with the most users, today's commission revenue alone could exceed 10.
With a monthly turnover exceeding 2000 million, monthly income can exceed 300 million.
Even though Li Pu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp. This was under the premise that their club couldn't handle so many orders. If the club's staff could keep up, the monthly revenue could at least double.
Just as Brother Yang said, opening a club is almost like picking up money from a sack.
"Oh, I see."
Although Li Pu's heart was in turmoil, his face remained calm.
"Keep a close eye on things these next few days. Tell the customer service and accounting staff how hard they work and how much they enjoy it. If the monthly turnover exceeds 20 million, your salary will double."
The first few days after opening are the most important; you have to feed the horse if you want it to run.
"Okay, I will pass it on to them."
Wang Kangwei raised an eyebrow, secretly pleased. Although he wasn't very familiar with the game Delta Force, he was still somewhat aware of the fame of the name "Outrageous Guy," even though he didn't play the game much.
Recalling his previous boss's image as a greedy and exploitative man, Wang Kangwei's impression of Li Pu was clearly much better.
Customer service and accounting salaries have doubled, so his salary as store manager will only increase, not decrease.
"The branch is already in preparation, the studio has been rented, and the recruitment of War God and customer service staff needs to continue. In the next few days, you will need to recruit two assistants to help you. There are many things to do. You will work hard this month, and you will definitely be rewarded with a bonus."
Li Pu stood up, patted Wang Kangwei on the shoulder, and offered him a rosy picture.
Li Pu himself didn't realize that making grand promises had become a passive skill after becoming a boss.
"Okay, Mr. Li, please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions. I'm available 24/7."
Wang Kangwei has nothing to say; he just needs to express his attitude.
After explaining the necessary matters, Li Pu went to retrieve his phone, handing over the phone he had used for the live stream to the logistics team so they could film the knife-making process in the studio.
Li Pu and Zhao Mingli went straight home and started live streaming on their computers. They had just been streaming about the knife-running aspect, and once they got home, Li Pu immediately opened the War God's live stream.
They checked them one by one.
After the club opened, hundreds of Delta Games live streaming rooms appeared on various platforms. These live streaming rooms all had the prefix "[Outrageous Esports Club]" followed by a combination of names. Clicking on them would show people showing their hands and screens while live streaming.
A striking red banner hangs in the upper left corner of the live stream room: "[Outrageous Esports Club] Welcome to expose cheaters. A reward of 1 RMB plus a 2-hour challenge to complete the test will be given for a solid evidence."
Li Pu's actions not only allowed the boss and some fans to see directly the actions of his war god and guard against possible cheaters, but also advertised his club on various platforms.
This is a win-win situation. Li Pu won twice, and he's completely exhausted from winning.
Chapter 262 Trouble?
"Damn it! You can't escape my grasp!"
In Li Pu's live stream room, he was watching the live streams of his two top warriors.
In the scene, two war gods are having a great time with their boss in a top-secret space station; the combination of Red Wolf, Luna, and the female doctor is quite classic.
The boss, who was brought in under strict combat readiness, didn't need to bring anything extra; the two war gods had already prepared everything for him.
A 45-slot red envelope, the largest Golden Elixir pendant, plus a War God carrying a revolver with a muzzle, and the owner carrying one himself. Basically, he brought in the most impressive stuff in the game.
"Take this triple blast!"
In the live stream, the user of Red Wolf shouted and fired a triple shot at the president from the buoyancy corridor.
"Detection arrow!"
Another war god shot an arrow at the president, shouting the same thing.
"Oops!! Wrong name!! It's reconnaissance arrows!!"
At that moment, the team's boss shouted, his voice full of excitement.
"Wow?! Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you?! You've already made three wrong calls in just the first round, and you've already added 150 million!"
The user of Red Wolf spoke to his teammate with some annoyance.
"Um... that's what I usually call you."
Luna didn't dare to talk back, and only offered a weak explanation.
"Never mind, we didn't call it right anyway, add another 50!"
The boss didn't care about any of that; he just said happily.
Li Pu's shop offers three types of escort services: guaranteed minimum bets, betting odds, and playing with customers.
As the name suggests, the "guaranteed minimum" means that the player will protect the boss and fight until the earnings reach the guaranteed minimum agreed upon in the order.
The betting slips are further divided into two categories: one is betting on the amount of money to be withdrawn, and the other is betting on the agreement.
The withdrawal amount is the amount agreed upon in the bet for a normal single game, such as 288 for a single game, 688 for a single game, 488 for a single game, 988 for a single game, 788 for a single game, and 1088 for a single game.
Another type of betting involves betting on a pre-arranged big red or similar rule. Li Pu's shop currently offers three types of betting: betting on a specific big red, betting on 10 gold collectibles per round, and betting on 4 or more red collectibles per round, regardless of size.
These types of bets are not cheap, starting at 2888. After all, the conditions for these bets are much more difficult than those for guaranteed bets, and the "gods" who take on these bets assume that they cannot be completed within one day.
Of course, these types of bets still have a minimum guarantee to prevent the bettor from losing money in the first one or two rounds.
In addition to these, a special order was launched when the store opened, which is the order that the God of War is currently placing in Li Pu's live broadcast room.
Second-year middle school syndrome (Chuunibyou) form.
The price is 388 with a guaranteed minimum of 1288 million. During the escort mission, both henchmen must speak in a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tone and accurately pronounce the skill names of the operators they are using. If they mispronounce a skill, an additional 50 will be added to the guaranteed minimum amount.
Li Pu couldn't help but stare at the two war gods in the picture, covering his mouth with one hand, afraid that he would burst out laughing.
"You scoundrels! Prepare to die!!! Tactical exoskeleton~ Activate!"
Red Wolf complained to his teammates, then activated his ultimate skill and charged forward.
"Electric Arrow!~!"
This time, Luna finally called out the correct name.
"Please wait a moment, my lord. Red Wolf and I will be right back!"
"That's it?! So weak! Muda muda muda muda~~~!"
The battle inside the headquarters was fierce, accompanied by Red Wolf's shouts and screams.
Unlike Red Wolf, his companions were clearly not as excited as he was.
[Hahaha~ I'm dying of laughter! This red wolf is just using the order as an excuse to unleash his true nature, isn't he?]
[Luna looked so embarrassed, I was practically digging my toes out of my head watching it.]
Who came up with this incredibly torturous list for the God of War?
At this point, Li Pu finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter amidst a barrage of "hahaha" comments.
After laughing for a while, Li Pu wiped away his tears and explained the order to the viewers in the live stream, then continued watching other people's videos.
With the "pure green escort" (a term referring to a specific type of security measure), no one can guarantee a 100% success rate on orders; bad luck can even lead to failure.
For top-secret escort missions, five sets of equipment are the minimum. The average cost of repairing a fully modified gun with medication is around 10 yuan, while a double-protected gun costs 20 yuan.
This is just a small part of the expenditure; the real cost is the time investment required for the God of War.
Excluding guaranteed bets, a bet that goes through three rounds on average takes about an hour and a half to close. Those who make money through skill can't be satisfied with just twenty or thirty dollars an hour.
The prices at Li Pu's shop are definitely not cheap, but they are absolutely worth the price. If there's any flaw, it's that he only makes money off rich guys.
For example, the most expensive two-hour challenge costs 5888 per order, with a minimum of 8888W for two. Wang Kangwei just mentioned that the maximum of 50 orders for today have all been booked. This is only because some wealthy people placed orders in the first few days of the opening to try something new.
After a while, being able to receive 7, 8, or 10 orders a day would be considered pretty good.
Ultimately, even these top-tier warriors will only bet on ordinary orders. The high-stakes betting orders they bring out will tend to favor them, only their commission will be slightly less than that of A-level warriors.
The overwhelming success of the opening surprised Li Pu, but he knew that this popularity was only temporary and would fade away after a while.
He was prepared to accept all of this.
He's not expanding the branches blindly. He plans to increase the number of War God products by another two-thirds, hoping to reach about 90% of the order demand, so as not to waste resources. That's enough.
Li Pu inspected many live streaming rooms, and everything went very smoothly without too many problems. He also did a good job of repeatedly emphasizing that the boss should be treated like a god.
After all, Li Pu's commission is already much lower for the "Gods of War" clubs compared to other clubs, and they can earn more income from the same deal with Li Pu.
Compared to money, simply asking them to have a better attitude is hardly a request at all.
Of course, it's not without its problems.
Just like the live stream room that Li Pu is seeing right now.
In the live stream, the God of War was speaking quite passionately to the customer who placed the order.
“怎么可能才660W?刚才我给板板你理包的时候弹挂背包和那把左轮都600万了,你主副武器两把才60W?你口袋呢?你安全箱呢?刚才你手上拿的那把M14都8,90W了吧?”
Li Pu frowned slightly.
"Yeah, Banban, we've played three rounds already, and you're always short by 100,000 or 200,000 each time. We didn't cheat you on any of those accounts. Last round, I helped you get 6.2 million in the bag, but you only got 6.7 million?"
Upon hearing this, Li Pu understood what had happened. The two war gods had placed a 288-point single-game bet of 688, and the boss who placed the order might have been hiding something.
"A difference of a few hundred thousand is a difference of a few hundred thousand, what does it have to do with me?"
The boss, speaking in a raspy, arrogant voice, said, "What? Is this how your Outrageous Esports Club treats its boss? If you're so capable, then settle the bill. Let's see if Brother Outrageous can afford to lose face. You're bullying the boss on your first day of business, huh? You think you can take advantage of your big business?"
